Any 1/2 sized dual core should be more than enough

A few tricks to make it cool faster or stay cool are
-remove thermostat so water is constantly pumping
-hardwire fan to switch so its always on
-water wetter @ autozone, decreases temps by lke 20* but costs $15
-get more air to your rad via vents/ducting etc
-get hot air out of the motor (jack up back of hood with washers)
-thermal wrap exhaust pieces in engine bay

if you wanna ---- up your engine

-hardwire fan to switch so its always on
so that you drain your electrical system in 10 minutes?

-water wetter @ autozone, decreases temps by lke 20* but costs $15
good idea

-get more air to your rad via vents/ducting etc
obviosuly

-get hot air out of the motor (jack up back of hood with washers)
to effectivly chop your head off durring a head on collision

-thermal wrap exhaust pieces in engine bay
this is a good idea if done correctly. when wrapping, make sure you put on a coating on the wrap after its been installed so that corrosion doesnt form form mousture being trapped in the wrap

you can hardwire the fan to operate when thje car is in the "on" position, and have a switch to it. So you can manually override the fan. Water wetter really works, I'd do that, and also make sure that the fan you've got sits flush up against the back side of the radiator and not sucking air through the sides not toching, if that makes sense. Maybe cut out the webbing in the bumper as well?

Tell us the situations that cause it to overheat. This may narrow it down to maybe a lifted head.

Yea i ment 10", well the way the down pipe is the radiator is all the way to the left in the engine bay, so if i put the fan right on that the air wouldnt be hitting the motor head on, i have no idea what a water wetter is or what it does, and the fan will have a switch so i can turn it on or off wheneven i want, and i am gona get a dual core aluminum rad, something like this http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/HONDA...QQcmdZViewItem, i was thinkin fluydine, but thats pretty much the same thing, no quite sure why it over heated, but no fan is most likely why, and a small radiator, thanks for the sugg.

It improves the heat transfer ability of coolant/water.
